Rear strutt gator perished/split. Replacement??

Hey guys, i am hoping for an answer but i am uncertain of getting one.
I noticed that one of my rear strutt gators has split and perished. I also noticed that each strut cost a few grand to replace because MB do not sell the gator seperate. Well that's never going to happen, my suspention system works just great, it's just the rubber boot.
So my question is, has anyone replaced there gator with anything after market? There must be some thing out there that can be used to repair or replace. It's only a rubber gator after all. Thanks
